The Hippocampus Represents 2D Latent Places: Encoding and Decoding Evidence in Independent Samples

The hippocampus may be domain general, representing behaviorally relevant dimensions in a map-like format. But previous research used tasks with perceivable spaces with instructed dimensions and reinforced locations, where the maps’ use is explicitly required. Here we test the domain generality of hippocampal place coding using a naturalistic social task with none of those properties.
